"All you can do is do what you must."

Insight for flying higher in the difference only you can make from musicians who inspire Creative on Purpose Live.

This week's wisdom comes from Bob Dylan and his tune Buckets of Rain, a favorite from my days as a professional musician.

"Life is sad. Life is a bust. All you can do is do what you must. You do what you must do, and you do it well."

Whether you agree with Dylan's pessimistic view of how life is (I prefer to think of it as "perfect in every way"), what he reminds us is that all we can really control is the intention and integrity of our efforts.

How might you cling a little less to desired results and focus your attention on the quality of your effort in your endeavor today?
